AMD Phenom X3: One too little or one too much?

Madshrimps posted a review on the Phenom X3 8450 and compared it to the AMD X4 and Intel C2D.

The AMD Phenom X2 was announced quite some time ago but still hasn't seen the light of day; instead we were greeted by the X3 Phenom, a new breed of processor, first in the market to offer a Triplecore solution. This CPU is priced lower than AMD's own X4 and Intel Core 2 Duo series. In our review today we test the Phenom X3 8450 and compare it to an AMD X4 and Intel C2D.
